Princess Chaoyang agreed very much with Qin Shaobai's suggestion. She was in a good mood and asked the girls in Yuanlou to prepare the lanterns for today's competition.
Although there were not many people left, these girls seemed to be good at hanging ten hats. After a while, the three floors of Yuanlou were full of hangings.
The yard is also full of lanterns, with lantern riddles used for today's competition on them.
"We must let the murderer know that his pendant is in Yuanlou."
Song Ci shook his head: "The common people don't know this pendant, so they probably don't know its special function, but people in the world can figure it out. In this way, it is equivalent to telling the whole world that Yuan Lou has obtained the imperial city."
Si's pendant, and once the Sixth Prince investigates, he will find out that we already know that the Imperial City Si is involved in this case."
"It's okay, I've thought about it a long time ago, but I still have to ask the princess to spend some money."
Princess Chaoyang smiled: "I will ask someone to prepare as much silver as Mr. Qin needs."
"No need for silver. I think the princess should have an ordinary jade nugget or jade ring. If we tie this pendant on it, everyone's attention will be attracted by the jade nugget, and naturally they won't notice it too much.
This is the pendant.”
The two people on the side looked at each other and actually laughed.
Princess Chaoyang asked someone to bring some jades, silverware, and some silver coins, saying that they were used as rewards for the lantern festival.
Qin Shaobai picked up one of the jade rings and asked Xiaohong to tie the pendant on it.
"In this way, can the murderer be lured here?" Princess Chaoyang was still worried and asked.
Qin Shaobai thought for a while, and it was true that the lantern viewing and lantern riddle guessing competition held in Yuanlou would only attract ordinary people. The murderer was in a hurry to find the pendant, so how could he be in the mood to come to Yuanlou to guess lantern riddles?
Song Ci and Princess Chaoyang both stared at Qin Shaobai, watching Qin Shaobai tilting his head and baring his teeth as he walked back and forth.
Song Ci wanted to speak, but was stopped by Princess Chaoyang.
Qin Shaobai was wandering there, his eyes suddenly fell on Xiao Hong, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Master Song, princess, don't be anxious, the mountain man has his own clever plan."
Song Ci and Princess Chaoyang shrugged at each other, meaning to say, don't worry about it and let this kid do whatever he wants.
Ten minutes later, the girls who had not returned home from Yuanlou stood in front of Qin Shaobai one by one, dressed exquisitely.
"Well, very good, Mr. Song, let's go see if the shelves outside Yuanlou are set up."
Song Ci didn't know what Qin Shaobai was planning, so he could only follow Qin Shaobai out.
We just found the person ten minutes ago, and now the stage outside the door is almost ready.
Qin Shaobai looked at the detectives whose faces were covered with sweat and said loudly: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. Yuanlou has prepared good tea. Come in and have a drink. By the way, you can enjoy Yuanlou's special prize show today."
The people on the street had long been attracted by the beautifully decorated stage, and now they heard Qin Shaobai talking about the prize show at Yuanlou, and they all flocked over.
Fortunately, Qin Shaobai had someone build a five-meter long fence in front of the stage, otherwise, the newly built stage would have been crushed.
"Do you want my girls to perform on stage holding these prizes?" Princess Chaoyang now understood what Qin Shaobai's secret plan was.
"Yes, we have to let the most beautiful girl in Yuanlou hold up this piece of jade and perform in the middle of the stage for a while. Remember, she must reveal the pendant. It is best to make everyone exclaim.
The preciousness of jade and the beauty of this pendant.”
"This is easy to handle, I just need someone to shout from below."
As soon as Song Ci's words came out, Qin Shaobai and Princess Chaoyang both laughed.
Qin Shaobai came over and patted Song Ci on the shoulder: "Sir Song, you are really smart."
Song Ci pretended to be calm and crossed her arms, then turned around, only to see Princess Chaoyang snickering there with her lips pursed.
He slowly walked over and heard Princess Chaoyang smile: "Master Song, you are looking more and more like Qin Shaobai now."
Qin Shaobai didn't have time to watch the cryptic interaction between Song Ci and Princess Chaoyang. He walked towards the group of dressed girls, picked up a ten-tael piece of silver, held it up with both hands, and imitated the steps of the models on TV.
.
Xiaohong and the others couldn't help laughing secretly when they saw Qin Shaobai twisting his body.
Qin Shaobai turned around and frowned: "If any of you fails in today's show, I will tell your master to reward her to my brothers."
The detectives who were drinking tea just now burst out laughing after hearing this. Xiao Shan even made a hug gesture towards the girls, which scared the girls and quickly took a prize each. Following Qin
Shaobai came on stage.
Qin Shaobai twisted his body and walked onto the stage, making the whole street laugh like crazy.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shaobai walked to the middle of the stage, cleared his throat a few times, and raised the silver in his hand high: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The owner of Yuanlou and our county government jointly organized this lantern riddle party. In order to inspire everyone,
With the enthusiasm to participate, we let the most beautiful girls in Yuanlou display the prizes of this competition one by one. Now, everyone applauds and invites the girls to come to the stage with their prizes."
Xiaohong was the first to hold up the piece of jade. Her flawless face made the jade in her hand feel particularly warm, and the golden tassels of the pendant hanging down gently trembled with Xiaohong's steps.
, human eyes are shining in this night.
Qin Shaobai stood aside, but his eyes were always fixed on the crowd.
Finally, he discovered that whenever Xiaohong walked on the stage holding the jade, there would be a pair of eyes staring at Xiaohong closely.
It is self-evident whether he is staring at Xiaohong or the piece of jade in Xiaohong's hand.
Xiao Shan and Li Xian, who were standing in the crowd, saw Qin Shaobai's gesture, and the two of them slowly moved closer to the position pointed by Qin Shaobai.
Sure enough, a man dressed entirely in black was staring at Xiaohong. His face had no smile at all, and was more of a fierce look.
Qin Shaobai asked the girls to stop and stand in a row.
"Folks, which girl do you think should win the special prize in this competition?"
"Captain Qin, what is the special prize?" someone shouted from the audience.
Qin Shaobai shook his head, why had he forgotten that this was the Song Dynasty again?
"The special prize is of course the best prize. I think it should be the piece of jade in the hand of the girl in red. Not to mention the jade, even the pendant is worth a lot of money."
The people in the audience immediately agreed.
Qin Shaobai looked towards the audience and saw that the person shouting was indeed Song Ci himself.
Qin Shaobai secretly smiled in his heart and took Song Ci's words: "Since everyone agrees that this special prize is the jade in Miss Xiaohong's hand, we will put this prize in the living room of Yuanlou and wait for the champion to come up and receive the prize."
There was an uproar in the audience.
"Okay, now, let's see who has the ability to take away these prizes. Please enter the courtyard of Yuanlou in an orderly manner. The lantern riddle guessing activity begins."
"In this way, you can attract the murderer?" Song Ci squeezed through the crowd and came to Qin Shaobai.
"Master Song, don't worry, let's go upstairs to drink tea and wait for the fish to swim slowly over."
